Chapter 11 - Genome-wide variation and trait analysis. This chapter presents the following content: Genetic variation among individual genomes, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and small-scale-length variations, deletions or duplications of a DNA region, positional cloning: from DNA markers to disease-causing genes, genome-wide association studies. | PowerPoint to accompany Genetics: From Genes to Genomes Fourth Edition Leland H.
